Much to the surprise of makeup junkies and beauty editors everywhere, there is one product that, during this NYFW for Fall 2015 was nowhere to be found backstage: the highlighter. The most acclaimed beauty ally of last seasons has now given up, officially. Not that models were left with dull, matte complexions, on the contrary they walked down the runway looking like they just emerged from a luminous facial. So, did highlighter give its way to something else? Yes, and it’s the simplest thing we can think of: moisturizer. Strategically placed (of course), moisturizer adds shine to cheekbones in the most natural way. A trick seen backstage at Donna Karan, Jason Wu, Rag & Bone and Victoria Beckham where makeup masters Charlotte Tilbury, Diane Kendal, Gucci Westman and Pat McGrath were swearing by its power in making skin glistering.

Never before a backstage makeup trend will be applied so well to real life, especially during winter time.
